[78-L] Eddie Harvey dies

[Jeff Sultanof]

I met Eddie Harvey at an International Association of Jazz Educators
convention several years ago. He was indeed an important musician and a
lovely man. I remember we had quite a lengthy conversation about Dankworth,
as I was a big fan. He was delighted that I had the Dankworth Seven sides
on Esquire.
